'Begin Again' actress Keira Knightley is set to make her Broadway stage debut with 'Therese Raquin', based on French writer Emile Zola's 1867 novel of the same name.
The 29-year-old 'Pirates of the Caribbean' star will play the title role in 'Therese Raquin', reported BBC.
Described as 'a tale of love, lust, betrayal, and guilt', the play will cast her as a young woman trapped in a loveless marriage who has an affair with one of her husband's friends.
The Roundabout Theatre Company show opens in October 2015 in New York. 'Therese Raquin' begins previews on October 1 and has its opening night on October 29 at a Broadway theatre yet to be announced.
'Therese Raquin' has been staged and filmed many times, most recently as the film 'In Secret' starring Elizabeth Olsen.
The new version is by British playwright Helen Edmundson, who previously adapted the Leo Tolstoy novels 'Anna Karenina' and 'War and Peace' for the stage.
